​Oblivious Nerd Girl

Many thanks to my cousin Vince for creating this amazing Color Your Troubles Away coloring page. What was once an idea that I could not get out of my head is now a reality. The coloring possibilities for this page are endless. Can't wait to color with all you beautiful people.

Park in the nearby parking lot. There is also plenty of street parking. Cafe Make is also near the Vermont and Wilshire Red Line stop. Bring yourself, whatever markers, pens, pencils, crayons you have in your arsenal, and a friend if you are so inclined.

If you are local to Los Angeles and are interested in partaking in some coloring RSVP Here. Let's Color!

Today's Oblivious Interview features Kyle Mizono. I watched Kyle do a spot at Tuesday Night Cafe and became a fan of her comedy. She is also rad because her favorite Wu-Tang member is Ghostface Killah and honestly anyone who loves him is okay USA in my book. (FYI Ghostface is my fav too).

Oblivious Nerd Girl is a Community Sponsor for Comedy Comedy Festival and I am super stoked for this weekend! Who loves comedy? I do! Who loves Free Food? If you aren't raising your hand right now or saying yes to that question, well then good for you. But if you are like me and enjoy free.99 things, head out to Friday night's Cherry Poppins: First-Timers Stand Up Comedy Night where Tillamook will be giving away FREE ICE CREAM BARS. It's hot people. Free ice cream at a comedy show is amaze balls.

The theme of this Family Reunion show is "Let It Go." Will this end in a sing-a-long? I hope so. Enjoy this mix of comedians, actors, musicians, and community organizers share their stories.

At-the-door tickets $15 CASH OR CREDIT when we open doors at 8PM for preshow drinks!

And if you plan on checking out Sunday's Comedy Comedy Fest line up you will get free goodies from Yogurtland and Piehole! So plan on being at the Diversity Showcase or watch different improv groups work their magic Sunday evening! You'll get free Yogurtland and Piehole. Yogurt and pie. MMMHMMMM I assure you it will be delicious hilarious times.

This post about the bus system reminded me of my Lola Sabel. I have been thinking about her a lot lately. I have been floating the idea of a new podcast around and was trying to figure out what I wanted to talk about. Since I've been thinking about my lola the thought came into my head, "Why don't I just talk about all my stories about her?" And Lessons From Lola was born.

Thank you to this handsome gentleman for producing this podcast. The sound quality and editing are a lot better this time around because Mike has the knowledge and skills to edit these recordings. Things sound a lot more professional my 2nd go around podcasting.

Special thanks to my creative work group (Angel and Jen) for pushing me to get this podcast done! Also to Lakan De Leon for hooking me up with the excellent rondalla music by the San Francisco based Tan Brothers.

We have decided on a location! Color Your Troubles Away will be held at Cafe Mak (612 Shatto Pl Los Angeles, CA 90005) in Koreatown. Cafe Mak has a nearby parking lot and there's also plenty of street parking. It's also near the Vermont and Wilshire Red Line stop. Bring yourself, whatever markers, pens, pencils, crayons you have in your arsenal, and a friend if you are so inclined.

I heart comedy. I subscribe to several podcasts and the overwhelming theme is that they are about comedy/pop culture, are hosted by comedians, or are simply about funny people doing funny things aka comedy comedians doing comedy comedy.

Lately I've been doing a lot of art therapy by coloring. There have been a few articles like this one from Gizmodo and this one from the LA Times talking about the adult coloring book trend.

I've had Natural Wonders by Patrick Hruby for several years now. Secret Garden was recently picked up at Target this past Sunday. The practice of coloring has been a great stress relief habit and it has allowed me to use the many markers, pencils, and pens that I have hoarded and accumulated over the years.

I put a call out to the Facebook Hive on what the interest would be like for a communal coloring night and now Color Your Troubles Away is now being planned!
